Yes, but not for quite the reason you might think. If Earth were the same density throughout, gravity would decrease as you moved toward the center, as more and more of Earth's mass would be above you. However, Earth's density is not uniform. Earth's core is made mostly of iron, which is much denser than the rock that makes up the crust and mantle. So gravity would increase as you got closer to the dense. Once you cross into the core, gravity starts to decrease as described above until you reach the very center, where gravity (at least from Earth) is zero.

Does weight - force of gravity - decrease or increase as you move away from the earth by distance squared?

As you move away from the Earth by distance squared, the force of gravity (weight) decreases. This is because gravity follows an inverse square law, where the force of gravity weakens as the distance between two objects increases.


What happens to your weight if earth's gravity became three times stronger?

If the mass of the Earth became 3 times what it is today but the Earth remainedthe same size, then your weight would also become 3 times what you weigh today.


When humans train in higher gravity than earth will their speed increase?

Yes, because it would make it easier to move around on Earth if the gravity is lower. Also, watch Dragon Ball Z!


When does an object not move downwards under the effect of gravity?

On every object on earth, earth exerts a force on it which is equal to the weight of object. When we throw a object it earth exerts force on it and it came downwards but if we throw it with escape velocity then it will not move downwards.


Why you do not move while earth moves?

Of course we move. We move along with Earth.


When gravity increase when the center of the earth increase?

Gravity increases as you move closer to the center of the Earth due to the concentration of mass in that area. However, once you are inside the Earth, the gravitational force actually decreases as you approach the center because the mass beneath you pulls you in different directions, effectively canceling out. Therefore, while gravity increases with the overall mass of the Earth, it decreases as you move toward the center. The gravitational force is strongest at the surface and decreases to zero at the exact center.


Why does the earth not moves due to gravity?

The earth does move due to gravity.Without gravity, the earth would move in a straight line. The force of gravity between earth and the sunis what bends the earth's path into a closed curve around the sun, called earth's "orbit".


How do the earth move in space?

the gravity moves the Earth in a circle


How does gravity make something move across the surface of earth?

the pull of earth's gravity makes any objects fall to the ground.As the moon goes around earth, its gravity pulls on earth causing water in the oceans to move toward the moon.Earths gravity also pulls on the moon.


As you get farther away from the center of the earth your weight will increase or decrease?

As you move away from the center of the Earth, your weight will decrease. This is because weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, and gravity weakens with increasing distance from the center of the Earth.


How does earth move vertically upward?
